Yes, this is it...
In our case, vservers get their hits directly from the outside by
ProxyPass directive from the publicly available web server.
Schools can publish by FTP using a similar ProxyPass directive in
ProFtpd, I'm not shure but sshd probly has that kind of feature (people
enter theirusername_at_vservername for username, that tells the ftpdaemon
where to go).
Only one whole in the firewall needed, no redirection or NAT, all passes
by the same IP...
For ProxyPass, a very simple tutorial:
